Adam looked at his watch, to find it was exactly five, so he rested his back a little and began to stretch and move his head right and left, to restore his muscles of activity, after working hours, which he spent behind this desk in auditing, and following up on the work of the employees he manages in his capacity as chief accountant.

Company (n.m group) specialized in importing computers.

He pulled out his mobile phone and a smile formed on his face as he felt happy while making that call, which as soon as the other picked up the handset, he said in a low voice, and his smile increased:

_ "My work is done , my love, and I will be at the inn in an hour at most. I love you, owner of my heart."

Then he hung up the phone, and looked around, to make sure that there was no one close to him, so as not to lose his prestige in front of the company's employees.

Then he closed the books and files, and made sure that some files were entered into the small cupboard in his library. At the same time, he heard a knock on the door, to show a large man with a large body, gray hair, wearing elegant medical glasses, and with a light beard that distinguished his face with the glasses he was wearing. The man was smiling a simple smile, as he entered Adam's office, who lived with great respect, and invited him to sit away from the office, saying:

_ "Hello, Mr. Director, please."

To which the venerable man replied simply:

- How many times have I told you not to say this word, Mr. Director, again, son, I consider you exactly like my boy, so why those titles? -

Adam smiled shyly, and said to the manager:

_ "As you wish, Professor Imad, but is there a complaint at work, or a mistake you received the previous days?" _

The man laughed and said:

"Does my visit to you consider it a bad omen to the degree that you should have reached two days ago?"

Adam's features froze in horror as he looked at the director with anticipation, but the director continued Shane:

_ "I have decided to permanently increase your salary by five hundred from the next month, while giving you 2% of the profits of any transaction made by a single company" _

Adam's smile widened as he looked at the manager, thanking him for all this, and imagine what deals he could achieve, and how this would make his wife happy, she hears the news tonight.

First Lieutenant Mahmoud laughed as he listened to that obscene joke, which was told by his colleague Adel, despite their preoccupation with one of the issues they had been working on for a week, especially after reaching important information regarding one of the most dangerous criminals. But the sense of humor still ran between them, as they sat between the papers, and each of them wore normal clothes due to their work in the State Security Investigation Department. Suddenly the door to the room opened, and a young man of strong build, tall, with black hair, blue eyes and a handsome face, entered from him:

_"I listen to your laughter before I enter the room, do you tell jokes?"_

Major Hassan said that phrase loudly, with a bright smile, so they told him a joke, and he laughed out loud, then returned to his seriousness and said, after sitting on one of the seats in the room:

And now Major General Hamdi Al-Saraiti is personally following up on the case files, and he learned that there was one of the perpetrators of the bombing, so he was arrested and confessed some secrets, and he is now requesting a report on his confessions on the library an hour from now

Mahmoud got up and said:

_"I will go now to get the investigation file, which was completed the day before yesterday, and summarize it. You will have the paper in half an hour at the most."_

Mahmoud left the room, at the same time Hassan yawned while addressing Mahmoud's colleague:

_"What about the information that the bomber gave us... did it lead us to something?"_

_"After continuing the investigations, we were able to come up with a triple name behind most of the events, and it appears that it is the master plan inside Egypt, but this name applies to eight individuals inside Egypt."_.
